Well Bone for Raynee

We are delighted to see the energy
and business vim displayed by the
merchants Of Rayne in the issue OF
the Acadia Sentinel, which comes out
with five additional pages given
exclusively to advertisements. No
town car thrive without its paper,
and no paper can live without the
patronage which is rightly its due.
We have merchants in AbbeviIle
who stand high as business men, men
who know well that everything of
value costs money, and that the way
to have a good paper is to make i.
SO; and yet we must say, with regret,
their eyes are sadly closed to the
value of printers lux. AS our next
issue will be the beginning Of a new
year we do hope Our friends will
resolve to turn over a new leaf.
Look all around you, see the pros,
perjty Of those who do advertise
and come and do likewise, and then
we can all unite in wishing each
other a happy new year.

The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1887-08-07

Sir Hugh Willoughby, in bark of
scarce a hundred tons, seeking the
path to China, sailed into Lapland
barbor, and there cast anchor for
ever; for the next year he and all
his crew were found in their floating
sepulchre, frozen stiff and solid as
marble.
Sir Humphrey Gilbert, half broth
er to Raleigh and of the same heroic
spirit, sailing homeward from the
Newfoundland coast, was overtaken
by a great tempest. His ship was
called the Squirrel, Of ten tons bur-
den, and sitting in the stern sheets,
as the night came down upon the
seethiDg sea, with the Bible on his
knees, he called aloud to the crew of
his coosort, sailing by his side, and
said: Fear not, comrades; heaven
is as near BY sea as by lard" And
saying this Ne disappeared from sight.
Henry Hudson 10 1909, in little
craft OF thirty tons called the Half
Moon" seeking, like all the others, q
way to China, penetrated the depths
OF Hudson's bay, and wintered amid
its awful cold. In the spring he
with his son and seven other faithful
souls were turned adrift by his mu-
tinous crew and never again we're
they heard of nor seen by men. The
mighty sheet Of water that bears his
name is both his grave and monu-
ment.
In 1903 Samuel Champlain, in two
little banks Of twelve and fifteen tons
burden, pushed boldly out from the
French coast, crossed the Atlantic
safely and returned to prepare for
another voyage. These are but sam
Piles.
Thus mused, remembering the
past and the odd days, recalling the
great names and famous men who
stand connected directly or Indirect
ly with this Majestic river, when |
was stirred to watchfulness and
brought back TO the present time by
the cry OF one OF the crew who was
tending the fore sheet and looking
windward and a mile aft great field
OF black water with snow white line
drawn 10 front of it from shore to
shore. A squall was coming, one of
Lake st. Pete-'s squalls" as the st.
Louis raitmen say, and it behooved
me to be ready for il.
Drop the fore peak"
Aye, aye, sir. :"
"Now, down with the throat and
reef to the reeting boom"
Down with the jib and stow it
tightly" was done and neatly.
Now, aft here, all Of you, and furl
the mainsail snusly and lash the
boom tightly amidships."
And thus prepared at every point,
when the wind came on us with wild
roar and patter Of rain drops, we
simply lit our pipes and laughed
to see her run. W. II. II. MURRAY.

cannot do descriptive justice to the
wild and yoluble excitement Of the

TRADING DEyILED HAM.
| was at the farmhouse trying to
trade q can Of deviled ham for a
pound OF butter. l would not ad-
wise anyone TO attempt this with
French Canadian. Those who are on
terms of intimacy with potted ham
know that there is picture OF satan,
with the conventional horns, hoot
and tail inlaid in red ink, on each
can. This probably prejudiccd the
farmer against il. explained TO
him in my most Partisan French
what il was. He said he would
rather not have me do it near the
house. but that il | wished to go
down behind the bluff ! might touch
the thing of there where it could
not damage anything. | saw that
he had failed TO understand
me. Some Of these Canadians
speak dreadful French. 1t is
harsh and gntteral and not all the
French "as she is spoke" by me. Ii
seems TO me that IL would give n
man sore throat TO even think in
such a pstois. | explained that the
stuff was not an explosive, that il
was plain every day granulated b "a
double m ham, and | supplemented
this statement with signs intended TO
convey the idea that il was good to
eat. lie shook his head and said
that he knew all about il; had tried
il once; that they did die in the
house, and that traps Of terrier dogs
were good enough for him.
would suggest 10 those who may
hereafter 60 canal yachting in Can
ada that they do not waste n good
article OF French language nor can
of seaworthy deviled ham on the
farmer they may meet by the wayside
IL he did trade, he would not appre.
ciate the ham. and would possibly use
it as a shaving lather or a plug 10
stop q leak in a wheelbarrow. He
seems 10 be addicted TO salt bacon,
which he uses as food, and the but.
termilk habit has such hold on him
that he cares for no other stimulant.
| left the horny handed Canadian
son OF toll without succeeding in
making 8 trade, but had my little
revenge. | dropped the ham into
his we'll. Some day when the can
attains a state OF noxious desuetude
il will burst, and he will think he
has struck a vein OF antique lard In
his drinking water.
